President & Chief Operating Officer
BroadPeak Investment Group is launching a new electric vehicle platform and has opened a search for its founding President & Chief Operating Officer — the senior operating executive with full P&L authority to build, lead, and scale the business nationally. The role carries significant equity participation and reports directly to the Chairman & CEO.
About the Company
BroadPeak, an Atlanta-based investment group, is launching a new electric vehicle company focused on last-mile delivery and commercial fleet operations. The company designs, assembles, and distributes purpose-built electric delivery and utility vehicles through a Georgia assembly operation and a nationwide franchise and dealer network.
Our vehicles serve B2B fleet operators who need a reliable, zero-emission workhorse across last-mile delivery, golf, agriculture, campus logistics, commercial property, and the trades. Every vehicle can be fully private-labeled in the customer's own brand, colors, and livery. We are the platform. Our customers are the brand.
The company works with a specialized EV manufacturing partner with 25+ years of production experience and active assembly operations across multiple international markets. Vehicles are assembled in Georgia to U.S. specifications and sold across all fifty states. This is a founder-backed, patient-capital venture built to scale the right way: certification first, channel second, growth third.
The Role
This is a founding President & Chief Operating Officer role — the senior operating executive accountable for building, leading, and scaling the entire electric vehicle business from the ground up. You will own full P&L responsibility across commercial strategy, operations, manufacturing execution, and go-to-market performance, leading both the operating company and its vehicle brand.
You will report to the Chairman & CEO of BroadPeak Investment Group, who will partner closely with you through the early build — particularly on regulatory, capital, and manufacturer-relationship matters — while you own day-to-day execution. This is a rare opportunity to build and own the trajectory of a company from day one: a leader who delivers will have room to grow with the platform as it scales nationally.
Your First 18 Months — The Build
Success in this role is measured by outcomes, not activity. The defining early milestones are concrete:
- Stand up the Georgia assembly operation in Conyers — site readiness, equipment buildout, workforce ramp (including state Quick Start training), SOPs, and quality systems.
- Drive the vehicles through U.S. regulatory certification — FMVSS / LSV self-certification via NHTSA and the broader compliance pathway — in partnership with counsel and the manufacturer.
- Complete the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and stand up a compliant franchise/dealer program — a hard prerequisite before any franchise sales.
- Build and launch the nationwide network of dealers, distributors, and franchisees, and close the first franchise/fleet cohort.
- Establish unit economics, route-to-margin discipline, and a repeatable production-to-delivery model that scales from pilot volume toward several thousand units per year.
What You Will Own
- Full P&L accountability across revenue, margin, cash, and operational performance.
- Manufacturing & assembly — the Conyers operation end to end: facility, workforce, production scaling, quality, and the manufacturer relationship (supply planning, CKD/SKD execution, product alignment).
- Go-to-market & commercial — B2B strategy across all target verticals and key fleet customers; sales, marketing, pricing, and channel activation; building and scaling the dealer/distributor/franchise network.
- Regulatory & certification — compliance across U.S. markets: FMVSS/NHTSA certification, import and customs strategy, and state LSV/registration, dealer, and franchise requirements.
- Brand — stewardship and growth of the vehicle brand as a distinct, private-label-ready identity.
- Team — recruit and develop a lean, high-leverage leadership bench (manufacturing/plant, sales/channel, finance) as volume justifies.
- External leadership — serve as a senior face of the company with customers, partners, regulators, and industry stakeholders.
What You Bring
- Ideal background. You come from the EV, small-vehicle, or low-speed-vehicle world — golf cart / PTV / utility-vehicle, neighborhood EV, or commercial last-mile — and you have lived the assembly, certification, and dealer-network realities of that industry firsthand.
- Two non-negotiables. Demonstrated, hands-on success in (1) scaling a vehicle/equipment assembly or manufacturing operation — CKD/SKD/OEM or contract-manufacturing experience strongly preferred — and (2) building and selling through B2B dealer, distributor, or franchise networks. Depth in one and credible command of the other is expected.
- 10–15+ years of executive leadership in automotive, EV, fleet, equipment, or related manufacturing industries, with direct P&L ownership.
- Commercial fleet command — strong understanding of commercial fleet markets or adjacent verticals (delivery, agriculture, golf, utilities, municipal, the trades).
- Regulatory fluency — working command of certification and import frameworks for vehicles or equipment (FMVSS/NHTSA, customs/tariff, state registration); franchise/FDD literacy is a strong plus.
- Logistics exposure — last-mile, parcel, or freight experience, and any hands-on work with large-scale electric fleet deployments, is directly transferable and highly valued.
How You Work
- A builder who thrives in early-stage, high-accountability environments and creates structure, systems, and clarity out of ambiguity.
- Strong bias for execution; comfortable making high-impact decisions quickly with imperfect information.
- Entrepreneurial ownership mindset — measured by outcomes, not effort — and energized by taking something from zero to scale.
- Capital-disciplined and equity-motivated: you are drawn to building durable enterprise value, not to a large salary.
Compensation & Ownership
This role is built for an owner-operator. Compensation pairs a competitive base salary and milestone-based annual incentive with a meaningful equity stake (profits interest) that vests on time and value-creation hurdles — the primary wealth-creation mechanism in this venture. Qualified candidates may also be offered the opportunity to co-invest alongside the founder. Base salary is deliberately disciplined relative to public-company peers; the real upside is in the equity you help create.
Submit Your Candidacy
BroadPeak Investment Group is committing significant, long-term capital to this platform and is conducting a search for its founding President & Chief Operating Officer. Qualified executives are invited to submit their candidacy for confidential consideration. Please include your resume and a concise summary of your record scaling vehicle or equipment assembly operations and leading B2B dealer, distributor, or franchise networks.
